Syracuse, NY -- A Cortland County legislator was charged with resisting arrest today in Syracuse after city police said she shoved an officer outside a bar.

Jennifer Gofkowski, 36, of Anderson Drive, Homer, was also charged with second-degree harassment, a violation, according to Syracuse police reports.

Police alleged Gofkowski — who is vice chair of the Cortland County Legislature’s judiciary and public safety committee — got into trouble early Sunday outside Benjamin's bar on South Franklin Street.

Officers were called to the bar at 1:02 a.m. after the woman's friend slipped on the dance floor inside the bar, and suffered a laceration, according to a police report.

While medical crews helped the injured woman, police said Gofkowski yelled at the manager demanding he fill out a report on the incident. The manager said he was concerned for the victim, and his insurance company would handle the claim, the police reprt said.

"This was not good enough for Gofkowski, as she started to swear and yell louder..." according to the police report.

Gofkowski shoved the officer outside the bar and tried to prevent the officer from handcuffing her, the report said.

Gofkowski, who was released from custody on her own recognizance, could not be reached Sunday evening for comment.
